mrsloony Posted October 24, 2006 Share Posted October 24, 2006 sorry - could not get the pm reply to work. anyway i had been suffering from the most horrible anxiety imaginable. back then pdoc's were the tdocs mostly and you had to get sent to a special pdoc who just focused on meds. took way too long for that to happen i think, but once i got to a pdoc- we started slow with a little xanax which was the drug of the moment- i got relief but the anxiety was so constant that we switched to klonopin because it stays in your system longer. turned out once the anxiety was more controlled that i was actually very depressed and so started my med-go-round. anyway- the thing is that you need to have both a tdoc and a pdoc to get the most thorough treatment.
